Leonie Guyer

Léonie Guyer’s paintings, drawings and installations explore idiosyncratic, nuanced shapes and the spaces they inhabit. Her work has been exhibited at Feature Inc., NYC; Peter Blum Gallery, NYC; the Douglas F. Cooley Memorial Art Gallery, Reed College; the Lumber Room, Portland, OR; Gallery Joe, Philadelphia; Triple Base Gallery, San Francisco; the Shaker Museum and Library, New Lebanon, NY; PLUSkunst, Düsseldorf, Germany and other venues.

Among Guyer’s site-responsive projects are two permanent installations: Gift, created during a 2006 residency at the Shaker Museum and Library, New Lebanon, NY, and Constellation, a 2010 commissioned painting installation at the Lumber Room, Portland, OR, where she was the inaugural artist-in-residence. Guyer has recently collaborated on book projects with poets Franck André Jamme and Bill Berkson, creating suites of drawings for limited-edition letterpress books of poetry by each author.

She is the recipient of grants from the New York State Council on the Arts, the John Anson Kittredge Foundation, the California Arts Council, and the Murphy and Cadogan Fellowship.
